    Excellent Company and very professional

    Rodrigo was our DJ for our daughter’s quince. His entire staff was amazing and prompt. He stayed in constant communication with us and also had a personal meeting a week before the day of to make sure everything was going to run smoothly and to answer any of our questions. He also helped us set our timeline for the night to give us some pointers on what would work best. We also added the lighting and it looked stunning. He was absolutely amazing, the music was great, sound was perfect, he was also our MC, and definitely the best Dj in chicago! They were also very affordable. Would recommend them to anyone!!

    Professional and always delivers!

    Windy City Mix has done countless events for my family. Whether it’s Rodrigo himself or his partner DJ, Wolfy, this top notch! This is the second year in a row that they have done my Chicago block party and it’s always a hit. They are more than willing to help with announcements, raffles, games, and anything else! Love this company and these guys like family! Highly recommend to anyone looking to be well taken care of!

    Danced all night!

    If you want to have your dance floor packed all night Rodrigo will make it happen! He knows how to read rhe crowd to make sure everyone is dancing and having a great time. My feet were so sore the next day as I danced ALL NIGHT, but I loved it and have no regrets. I have been to a few different weddings and parties that Rodrigo was the DJ and I would definitely use him again. He is truly the best!

    Windy City Mix is top-notch !

    Rodrigo Alvear (Windy City Mix ) is an amazing DJ and I highly recommend him. I was really nervous about having my baby shower, but he made feel at ease and everything went very smoothly. He helped with announcements and games he definitely knows how to keep people entertained and the party going. He played all the right music at the right time. He is professional and he is there for you to make your day very special. My baby shower is one for the books thanks to Rodrigo . So book him already.

    Great service

    We couldn't have chosen a better DJ for our wedding. If you are looking for a DJ in the greater Chicago land area, look no further! After having to need to reschedule a few times due to covid, Rodrigo was super responsive and flexible as our wedding plans changed and helped to put together a playlist that fit our needs and family dynamic. He takes the time to truly understand what you need and my husband and I were super appreciative of his support.

    The Perfect DJs for our wedding!!!

    Windy City Mix was AMAZING, start to finish!!! From the initial meeting with Rodrigo laying out expectations, to the big day...my husband and I were super pleased. Rodrigo and Will met with us along the way to finalize details just the way we wanted, and we greatly appreciated their suggestions and input, as they are very experienced. We hired Windy City Mix based on attending a wedding of one of my best friends, and also know that her brother hired the company for his wedding, and we were all thrilled with how well the dance floor was kept alive, which was a key driver! For our wedding, we also hired Windy City Mix for uplighting and two picture/video slide shows, and it was perfect! It makes you feel good when your DJs genuinely want to help create your wedding as envisioned, and they took away all of our stress the day of. We had Brazilian dancers as well, and Rodrigo and Will coordinated the entertainment with Sambrazilian beforehand. Highly recommend!

    Cannot Recommend Enough!

    Rodrigo managed the music for our wedding ceremony and reception and we are SO glad he did! He is very professional and knows how to get a party started! Our guests danced until the very last song and raved about the music afterwards. We also had a photo booth ran by him and his assistant, that was a huge hit! He even brought props that went along with our theme and gave us an album of the pictures, with notes from our guests. We cannot thank or recommend Windy City Mix enough!

    Just What We Hopes For

    I would definitely recommend Windy City Mix to anyone looking for a DJ in the area. We had Rodrigo, and was everything we wanted in a DJ. We were able to speak with him directly about the music choices, timeline, etc. I especially loved the option of having an online link for guests to request songs as well! We added it to our wedding website and our guests were able to hear the songs they requested the night of our wedding. Rodrigo - thank you for everything you did to make our day truly, the best day of our lives!

    Wow! And the compliments keep coming!

    We booked Rodrigo for our 8/11/2019 wedding in Benton Harbor, Michigan and WOW did he deliver! To this day we are still getting compliments on how awesome he was at the wedding and my husband and I would recommend Rodrigo to literally anyone getting married in the Chicagoland area. He went above and beyond for us and made picking out music incredibly easy. Rodrigo, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding night a night we will never forget. We had a blast!

    Great wedding DJ!

    We used Windy City Mix for our 8/10 wedding. My husband and I personally had a great time. Rodrigo was very professional and met all our needs. I’ll start with complaints (they weren’t from us but older wedding guests such as moms/aunts/uncles) apparently the music was too loud for them during dinner hour again personally we didn’t notice but I guess they couldn’t hear conversations at their tables. After dinner we ran table to table taking photos with guests and had a time limit per snippet of song being played. All of our guests loved it and never have seen it before. Our friends getting married in the future said they are copying that. Great job Rodrigo for that suggestion! Dancing started out with “love shack” and I’m not kidding the dance floor filled up during the first song so fast. The night went on very smooth. The only thing I didn’t like was some requests that were played by friends. But it’s too late to dwell on that everyone had fun.

    Best DJ service

    Rodrigo did amazing. He kept everyone dancing and listened to special requests from guests and even did a last minute change we requested in our first dance. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Rodrigo and your assistant as well, he was on top of things in the dollar dance watching me because bills were falling off of my dress and he kept picking them up and handing them to me. You guys rock! 😁😀👍👌🤟

    Awesome Experience!

    We could not have had a better DJ experience! We attended two previous weddings using Windy City Mix. Both were awesome so we had to use them for our wedding as well. We received so many compliments from our guests on the music, announcements, and photobooth. The wedding and initial planning could not have gone any better thanks to Rodrigo!

    Rodrigo was great! He showed up on time and had everything ready to go...cocktail hour was perfect and the music was perfect all night! He double checked with us to make sure everything was correct before announcing anything or anyone. He put beautiful lights up all over the room and our monogram was perfect! Thanks for doing such an amazing Job Rodrigo!

    Windy City Mix was such a pleasure to work with. Rodrigo really made me and my now husband feel like our event was so important. He was the first and only DJ company we met with and we knew right away that we wanted his services. We were not disappointed. Matt, one of his DJs was the best! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. I never saw less than 20 people out on the floor and people stayed till it was over and still wanted more! He was very professional, on time and kept the night flowing. Countless people came up to me to compliment the DJ and said that it was the best DJ they ever seen at a wedding. There was also a photobooth they set up that all my guests had fun with and we have a book of photos. I would recommend them to anyone and they are very reasonably priced as well! Such a great night. They helped make my wedding magical!

    We had Rodrigo for our wedding, and he was fantastic! Everything was very professional and well done. He played the music for our ceremony and reception. When I was having trouble choosing music for my walk down the isle he told me not to worry and that he would find something nice and make it flow. He did not disappoint! He was a fabulous organizer throughout the evening and made sure everything stayed on time. I have nothing bad to say about his company!

    Let me start off by saying that you should just stop what you're doing and hire Windy City Mix. Rodrigo is AMAZING and their pricing is UNBEATABLE for the level of service and professionalism they offer. We hired WCM in November of 2016 for our 9/9/2017 wedding. As an interracial couple looking for a DJ that was well versed and comfortable with the traditional jewish hora dance and traditional salsa/Spanish music, Rodrigo put all of our worries to rest. We communicated by email which was very helpful with all of the other wedding meetings and both of us working full time. Their online playlist tool is so cool and easy to use. It made the whole process so much easier.

    On a personal note - Rodrigo, the CEO and mastermind behind the amazing Windy City Mix, actually missed his daughter's graduation in Florida to DJ our wedding, which shows how dedicated and professional he is. There was a small oversight on our contract asking for him specifically and when we found out that we might have to work with one of his other DJs (they are all amazing but we fell in love w/ Rodrigo) we were adamant about working with him. He accommodated with a smile and put on the best wedding we have ever been a part of . Every single person - from every walk of life - had an amazing time. We also hired their photobooth services which provided some of the best photos of the night.

    Our wedding timeline moved around so Rodrigo checked in with me about everything in such a calm manner. He kept us sane the whole night and kept us on track. He also knew exactly what to play in every moment to keep people on the dance floor and calm it down when we needed to toss the bouquet, etc. Their wide array of music and expert knowledge of weddings are enough, but they go above and beyond to deliver the very best. By the end of the night, Rodrigo felt like family. Thank you so much WCM - you made our wedding perfect.
